The Kaiser Foundation has a cost calculator on their website along with lots of other information.They are at kff.org. A representative from the foundation was on NPR explaining a lot about the AHCA. You can find it at hereandnow.wbur.org

I'm looking forward to next week to see what's available. Using the Calculator over at Kaiser, I could save about $100/month on the Bronze option over the equivalent coverage I have now with Aetna. If I step-up to Silver, I'd save $50/month.

Of course, that's just the calculator -- it'll be interesting to see what the actual offerings are like. It's actually kind of exiting! =)

I have heard a few bigger companies, to try to bring prices for health insurance down are starting to allow like 3 insurance companies to offer packages. This way they will have to compete with each other to offer good, affordable health coverage. Win/Win, at least for the employer and employee.

The Kaiser Medical system is about as close to Universal Health care as you can get... only problem is if you're in Kaiser you have a more limited choice of Drs. You have more choice of Drs under ACA than in Kaiser, yet I hear few complain about that system. (I had Kaiser from 1979-1984 and liked it.) They are set up to control costs, and it works, that's why many use them. Less expensive, but still good solid care. Seems to me that what ACA is trying to do !!!

As I said in another thread, The GOTP is scared sh!tless that Obamacare will WORK... then like SS and Medicare they can't ever kill it, even if they ever got total control again. If it were truly as bad and a train wreck as they say - they'd let the Dems walk into the quagmire and then pound them later and probably win a sweeping election and control all key parts of the govt... but that's NOT the case... and they know it!! Thus we get 2 yr old temper tantrums like Cruz just threw !!

I don't know anything about their insurance. I was listening to their representative talking about the AHCA and he mentioned the calculator and gave some interesting facts about the act. I have Medicare part A and B and NALC insurance through the Post Office and I won't be moving to another plan.

That is an extremely good point. Maybe that means they really ARE looking out for the American people and DON'T want it to be a train wreck that hurts us in the long run. Yeah right.

My that's a pretty political statement - not that you started it of course.

Isn't bringing up FDR's administration out of nowhere a bit out of "left" field, pardon the pun? At least I assume that's what you are doing. Are you saying there should have never been social security or...?
